A Game for Every Movie I Watched in 2022

What a stupid idea.

Here's 18 games that correlate to every movie I watched for the first time in 2022 that came out in 2022.

Ranked by how much I liked the movie of course. Also I'm banning direct correlations between franchises as that would be too easy (If I watched a Superman Movie I can't tie it to a Superman game).

Also feel free to suggest your own choices, a lot of these need work imo so some extra options may be greatly appreciated.

Here's a list to the inverse list with movies

Psychonauts 2
Psychonauts 2
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
----
Also has that multiverse edge to it, and certainly visits strange locations like the accompanying movie, but I picked these as they match in their themes of handling grief and loss.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Turning Red
----
Turning-into-a-furry-creature core. They don't match in tone like at all but the animal transformation though.
Katana Zero
Katana Zero
Bullet Train
----
This one is just a gut feeling. I saw the cover for Bullet Train and all the memories I had of it and it just screams Katana ZERO in my head, I cannot deny it this placement.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers
----
Both feel lifeless in their execution, completely missing the point of their predecessors in favor of mildly funny gags which gained, at least a few chuckles every now and then.
BioShock
BioShock
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
----
Sadly enough, this choice doesn't cover the Wakanda side of things, but it does touch on an underwater civilization with corrupted political views so there's that.
Dead Space
Dead Space
Prey
----
I am immediately reminded of the regenerator zombie, the one that chases after you, is invincible, and will kill you swiftly. I also remember using your head to murder it in a very creative way, this game's case being rocket engines.
Psychonauts
Psychonauts
Everything Everywhere all at Once
----
Definitely has that weird, seemingly multi-dimensional energy, as well as sharing themes of healthy family relationships and achieving one's goals.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Top Gun: Maverick
----
Seeming return-to-forms for the franchises, giving everyone what they really wanted out of this. Cool plane shit.
Ninja Baseball Bat Man
Ninja Baseball Bat Man
The Batman
----
I can't believe how hard it is to find a game that exudes what this movie brings to the table, so we'll stick with the play-on-words until I can think of something better.
Spark the Electric Jester 2
Spark the Electric Jester 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
----
Ok now I'm definitely cheating.
Sega Bass Fishing
Sega Bass Fishing
No Shark
----
Try as you might, no matter how hard you look, you will never find a shark in this game. Go play Sega Marine Fishing instead.
Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's
Kimi
----
I just think there's a strong correlation here in having both of our protagonists discover that shit has hit the fan through the use of second-hand technological sources.
The Lion King
The Lion King
The Northman
----
Look, the rules stated that I couldn't connect two franchises directly, but I sure as shit can put together two Hamlet clones.
Cooking Simulator
Cooking Simulator
The Menu
----
I'm sure most of the things streamers who played this game cooked up could've passed as dishes in this movie.
Metroid: Other M
Metroid: Other M
Barbarian
----
This one is hilarious because it only makes sense if you've seen the movie, but let's just say the connection is quite literal.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog
Halloween Ends
----
A complete disaster that capped off a frankly underwhelming trilogy of entries with a wet fart. Embarrassing at best and headache inducing at worst.
Mighty No. 9
Mighty No. 9
Morbius
----
The butt monkeys of their respective industries, so many jokes and memes just from their existence.
The Letter
The Letter
Smile
----
The dumbest horror you've ever seen trying to parade itself as this thought-provoking nonsense, how about you go choke on your own cerebrospinal fluid and see if you can taste your overwhelming pretentiousness.
